And now for Scary Pix Number 2 -- my nose and voice box. I have been seeing Dr Ravi for some time about my snoring -- which has become a real problem now that I am married. I told Dr Ravi (supposedly a top notch ENT specialist, who charges like one) that I could not afford the fees much longer. He had given me steroids and other medication (incl my favorite nasal spray -- Nasonex). So he said, ok, you go visit my friend, Dr Tan from SGH. Which I did. Somehow the problem seems to have gotten worse, and when Dr Tan took this latest scope, I was horrified by my enlarged adinoids(?). Possibly new allergies to the cat (meow) we just brought back from Linda's place. And then those horrible "cobblestones" (as Dr Ravi calls them), erupting on the walls of my nasal passage all the way down to the voice box (which is the wide bone-like structure in pix bottom right). He gasped (just like Dr Ravi) "Oh my! Big Tonsils! Must cut!" It's not everyday one gets to see one's inside. So this is the real me, full of strange tissues and weird enlargements. Doing my sleep study next Monday. Hope it doesn't show up that I have apnoea. *fingers crossed* ... Ruth just cringed when she saw the pix.
